Could you please be more specific with the build problem with tar?
There were 11 commits in two recent weeks. At least one of them
intoduced
a bug (fixed recently). That suggest re-examination of the remaining
ones. Besides, several security-related fixes are waiting in the queue.
That is good, but most users (including us) use published stable
releases. The original post implied that there was a build problem
with tar-1.35. That does not appear to be the case. For internal
package issues we prefer to wait until the developer releases a stable
update.
It is the case, see
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2026-06/msg00013.html.
I'm not sure how you're not hitting that.
We had it addressed and I did not remember. Sorry for the noise.
